Great songs & Great lyrics: The Power of Love - Frankie goes to Hollywood

This song I have been thinking about blogging about such a long time, but forgot. This is one of the loveliest songs about love ever. It's very universal in it's lyrics and quite simple and somehow makes me shred at tear or too, but as you know by now I am a very easily moved person ;) And it somehow also felt like the right day to blog this one :) I also really like the fact that the music video has a slight Jesus-story going. To me the whole point of the Christian faith is love and the most important in my own strange interpretation of it. Care about others and they will care about you. Care about yourself and you'll care about others.
So here it is: The Power of Love.


LYRICS:

Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove

Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

It's also quite interesting that this song is on the same album of Frankie goes to Hollywood as "Relax". That is a very very different feeling song and video, but also great in it's own way :) hehe
